I think this article raises a good question, though I don't really think
it answers it. Currently, yes, the grid isn't significantly impacted.
But what about if we had 100% EVs. What about local and long haul
trucking? What about other ICE powered equipment, e.g. earth movers,
etc.? What about generation capacity as well as distribution capacity?
Personally, our EV boosted our electricity consumption by about 10%. I
don't know how that number compares in general as, even with our EV, our
electricity usage is below the national average. Even so, that's only
accounting for residential EVs. Commercial and industrial electricity
usage is much higher than residential. Is that enough to coincidentally
assume a 10% figure for non residential EV charging? If this pans out to
be reasonably true, it would seem that EVs will not, long term, cause a
significant drain on our generation capacity, if any at all (considering
time of use).
For distribution, yes, we clearly can't have everyone charging their EVs
at 5:30pm. But, as we move more and more to renewables, we'll need grid
storage anyway and, using the "10% rule", EVs won't be a significant
factor. The significant factor will be how to get Nevada solar to the
cloudy Pacific NW or to get Texas wind to sticky South Carolina. And how
to store several days worth to even out nature's effects.
Does anyone have real numbers of the effects of 100% EVs on generation
and distribution?

EVLN: Tesla-3 EV handling snow-covered rutted off-road track on
standard
tires (v)
The current versions of Tesla's flagship vehicles control power to all
four
wheels through dual independently operated electric motors, providing
unparalleled traction in even the worst of winter conditions. Short of
driving your Tesla through a snow-covered off-road track with deep,
muddy
ruts, Model S and Model X's ...

Verne Troyer just got a Tesla Model S for Kids and says it’s a beast
December 28, 2017 Not long after, Troyer began his “unboxing” of the
Model
S for Kids, where he gave a surprisingly complete rundown of the
miniature
vehicle's features. During the course of the video, Troyer showed off
the
miniature car's frunk, Tesla-branded charger, and its battery pack. The
Austin Powers star also took ...

Good News: EVs Are Not Crashing the Grid
Dec 27, 2017 First, despite fears that EVs would overwhelm the
existing
electric grid infrastructure, only a very minor fraction of them—0.19
percent—have actually necessitated distribution system or service line
upgrades. Moreover, this data point has translated to relatively low
levels
of EV-related spending on grid maintenance: of the $5 ...
